Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Substitute n with 6 because n=6

2. Then you simply solve both sides so (6-6)-(5-6) because n=6

3.so then you get the absolute value of 0 subtracted by the absolute values of -1

4. So because all absolute values change it to positive you get 0-1 instead of 0- - 1

5. So the final answer is -1

Sorry if this was confusing, I’m really bad at explaining. :)

Anton [14]

Answer:

a) 0.105 = 10.5% probability that it will not be discovered if it has an emergency locator.

b) 0.522 = 52.2% probability that it will be discovered if it does not have an emergency locator.

c) 0.064 = 6.4% probability that 7 of them are discovered.

Step-by-step explanation:

For itens a and b, we use conditional probability.

For item c, we use the binomial distribution along with the conditional probability.

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

a) If it has an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will not be discovered?

Event A: Has an emergency locator

Event B: Not located.

Probability of having an emergency locator:

66% of 72%(Are discovered).

20% of 100 - 72 = 28%(not discovered). So

$P(A) = 0.66*0.72 + 0.2*0.28 = 0.5312$

Probability of having an emergency locator and not being discovered:

20% of 28%. So

$P(A cap B) = 0.2*0.28 = 0.056$

Probability:

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.056}{0.5312} = 0.105$

0.105 = 10.5% probability that it will not be discovered if it has an emergency locator.

b) If it does not have an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will be discovered?

Probability of not having an emergency locator:

0.5312 of having. So

$P(A) = 1 - 0.5312 = 0.4688$

Probability of not having an emergency locator and being discovered:

34% of 72%. So

$P(A \cap B) = 0.34*0.72 = 0.2448$

Probability:

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.2448}{0.4688} = 0.522$

0.522 = 52.2% probability that it will be discovered if it does not have an emergency locator.

c) If we consider 10 light aircraft that disappeared in flight with an emergency recorder, what is the probability that 7 of them are discovered?

p is the probability of being discovered with the emergency recorder:

0.5312 probability of having the emergency recorder.

Probability of having the emergency recorder and being located:

66% of 72%. So

$P(A \cap B) = 0.66*0.72 = 0.4752$

Probability of being discovered, given that it has the emergency recorder:

$p = P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.4752}{0.5312} = 0.8946$

This question asks for P(X = 7) when $n = 10$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 7) = C_{10,7}.(0.8946)^{7}.(0.1054)^{3} = 0.064$

0.064 = 6.4% probability that 7 of them are discovered.

On the day of the field trip, each teacher must call the parents of any student who has not returned a permission slip. All of M

Archy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

B is the correct answer. Since Mrs. Hooper and Mr. Anderson had to call a total of 8 parents, you know the first equation must be either A or B (H + A = 8).

Since you know that Mrs. Hooper had to call 2 more parents than Mr. Anderson, the equation will have to have H + 2 on one side; that's how you know the correct answer is B.

Simplify the problem: Sin theta Sec Theta

kherson [118]

Answer:

$\tan \theta$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to simplify the following expression as given by

$\sin \theta \times \sec \theta$

= $\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$

= $\tan \theta$ ( Answer )

Because, we know that $\sec \theta =\frac{1}{\cos \theta}$ and $\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$

If we consider $\sin \theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}$ and $\sec \theta = \frac{Hypotenuse}{Base}$ ,

then $\sin \theta \times \sec \theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\times \frac{Hypotenuse}{Base} = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}= \tan \theta$

A model rocket is launched from a roof into a large field. The path of the rocket can be modeled by the equation y = -0.06x^2 +

bixtya [17]

It's asking how far horizontally from the starting point which means that y, the height in meters is 0.
set 0 = -0.06x^2 + 10.1x + 5 and solve for x using the quadratic formula

-b +- $\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}$ / 2a
-10.1 +- $\sqrt{10.1^2 - 4(-0.06)(5)$ / 2(-0.06)
you get that x = 168.83 m and -0.49 meters. Since the horizontal distance cant be negative, 168.83m is your answer
